Home Organization Membership Lodges ... Links History of the Preserving our Norwegian heritage... Pride in Norway and support for Norway as an independent country was strong in the Norwegian-American and Norwegian-Canadian communities around the turn of the 20th Century. On June 5, 1905 Norway terminated its union with Sweden. During the summer of 1905, the interim Norwegian government invited the second son of the Danish monarch to take the throne of Norway, as a part of a constitutional monarchy. He would only accept the invitation by referendum of the Norwegian people, which passed in late summer 1905. On 22 June 1906 King Haakon VII and his wife, Queen Maud, were consecrated at Nidaros Cathedral in Trondheim, Norway. On October 19, 1905, Valkyrien Lodge, Daughters of Norway of the Pacific Coast, was chartered by the Leif Eriksen Lodge #1, Sons of Norway of the Pacific Coast (now Lodge #1, District 1 of the Sons of Norway). The men had offered to make the new lodge subordinate to their organization, but this was soundly rejected by those pioneer women. On April 24, 1907, Embla Lodge, Daughters of Norway of the Pacific Coast, was chartered in Tacoma, Washington by Lodge #2, Sons of the Pacific Coast (now Lodge #2, District 1 of the Sons of Norway). Later in 1907, Freya Lodge was chartered bythe Sons lodge in Spokane.

A chronology of important dates: 800's The bloody conflicts between tribal kingdoms, as well as a craving for adventure, prompted Norwegians to leave their lands in what are known as Viking voyages. Warriors from the fjords (Vik in Norse) raided throughout western Europe and into the Mediterranean. 890's Harald Hårfagre ("fair-hair") unites Norway to a single kingdom. Ireland falls under Norwegian rule. Iceland is colonized. King Olav Tryggvason converts to Christianity. (circa) Norway is split in three parts by Olof Skötkonung, King of Svealand, his step-father Svend Forkbeard, King of Denmark, and the exiled Jarl Eirik. King Olav Tryggvason is defeated. Jarl Eirik gets a third of Norway as his own, and the part of Olof Skötkonung's as his vassal.

It is bordered by the North Sea, the Norwegian Sea and Barents Sea in the west, Russia, Finland and Sweden in the east, and the Skagerrak (an arm of the North Sea) in the south. Most of the country consists of mountains and plateaus. Forests are found almost as far north as Nordkapp (the North Cape). Norway's temperate climate is the result of the warming Gulf Stream. Summers are remarkably mild for the latitude, while winters are long and very cold, often with plenty of snow. Rainfall is very heavy in the west. Norway is a country of socio-economic equality with a high standard of living and a homogeneous population. Apart from Oslo and adjacent suburbs, there are no metropolitan cities in Norway. Norwegians usually live in small communities with well developed road, air and ferry communication. Many communities are built up around one major business or industrial enterprise. The sea along the coast is rich in natural resources like oil and fish.

home search help worldguide ... Related Weblinks Norway History In the 13th century Oslo emerged as a centre of power. It continued to flourish until the mid-14th century when bubonic plague decimated its population. In 1397 Norway was absorbed into a union with Denmark which lasted over 400 years. Norway was ceded to Sweden in 1814. That same year a defiant Norway - fed up with forced unions - adopted its own constitution, but its struggle for independence was quelled by a Swedish invasion. In the end, Norwegians were allowed to keep their new constitution but were forced to accept the Swedish king. Growing nationalism eventually led to Norway's peaceful secession from Sweden in 1905. Norwegians subsequently voted in favour of a monarchy over a republic and selected Prince Carl of Denmark to be king. Upon acceptance, he took the title Håkon VII and named his infant son Olav, both prominent names in Norway's Viking past. Norway stayed neutral during both world wars but was occupied by the Nazis in 1940. King Håkon set up a government in exile and placed most of Norway's huge merchant fleet under the command of the Allies. An active Resistance movement fought tenaciously against the Nazis, who responded by razing nearly every town and village in northern Norway during their retreat. The royal family returned at the end of the war. In 1960 Norway joined the European Free Trade Association but has been reluctant to forge closer bonds with other nations, partly due to concerns about its ability to preserve small-scale farming and fishing. North Sea oil and natural gas finds brought prosperity to the country in the 1970s, and Norway has since achieved one of the highest standards of living in the world. A no-vote for application with the EU in a 1994 referendum sent shock waves through European governments who were attempting to 'sell' the Maastricht treaty to their citizens. EU membership is still a hot topic in Norway, but resistance is still strong across the nation's political spectrum.

Country Info Norway Introduction Norway General Data Norway Maps Norway Culture ... Norway Time and Date Norway History Back to Top Norway was inhabited as early as 14,000 years ago by a hunting people with a Paleolithic culture derived from that of western and central Europe. Later, colonies of farming people from Denmark and Sweden were established in the region. These settlers spoke a Germanic language that became the mother tongue of the later Scandinavian languages. These new arrivals made their homes on the shores of the large lakes and along the jagged coast. Mountains and fjords formed natural boundaries around most of the settled areas. In time social life in the separate settlements came to be dominated by an aristocracy and, eventually, by petty kings. By the time of the first historical records of Scandinavia, about the 8th century ad, some 29 small kingdoms existed in Norway. The earliest traces of human occupation in Norway are found along the coast, where the huge ice shelf of the last ice age first melted between 11,000 and 8000 BC. The oldest finds are stone tools dating from 9500 to 6000 BC, discovered in Finnmark in the north and Rogaland in the southwest. Theories of a “Komsa” type of stone-tool culture north of the Arctic Circle and a “Fosna” type from Trøndelag to Oslo Fjord were rendered obsolete in the 1970s. More recent finds along the entire coast revealed to archaeologists that the difference between the two can simply be ascribed to different types of tools and not to different cultures. Coastal fauna provided a means of livelihood for fishermen and hunters, who may have made their way along the southern coast about 10,000 BC when the interior was still covered with ice.
